Allergy Medicine?

Hi, I just got my BFP this week and I have had a cold for over a week. I was taking Nyquil and Dayquil before I got the BFP. I went to the dr yesterday and she told me to take Claritin and use saline nose spray. I remembered that I used to take Claritin years ago and it finally stopped working for me. Are there any others that are safe to take? My little girl takes Zyrtec when she gets a cold - the instructions say if pregnant ask your doctor first. I just don't want to spend money on Claritin for it not to work. Any suggestions? Has your dr ever told you you could take any cold or allergy meds? I remember from my 1st pregnancy that Tylenol is okay to take. Do you think Tylenol Cold would be okay? TIA
